SCCM 2012 Agent

Anyone deploying and using the SCCM 2012 SP1 agent through Casper? Any tips or tricks? Getting ready to start testing this in dev - would like to avoid any banging head against the wall scenarios if possible!

Most importantly however, if you have deployed it, have you noticed any issues with machine performance or compatibility with JSS agents or Casper in general?

Yes. We do and don't see any issues.
we use the enrolment method described in their instructions.

Thanks!

That's the method we're using as well, although I'm having troubles with the "-p password" segment of the command. CMEnroll tool indicates that switch is not recognized so I'm having trouble automating the process for deployment from the JSS. Did you have that issue as well? If so, how did you get around it?

No issues. (see the post below for more info)

Microsoft removed the "-p" switch from the CMEnroll command. According to their message boards, it was because that would allow logging the password in clear text.

This page has a workaround, about 2/3 the way down:

@biddlet][/url is correct. We were using an old client which has the "-p" switch. New one doesn't have the "-p" switch so you might need to have a "#!/usr/bin/expect" script.
